Feb. 1st, 2010 06:10 amPreviously, I used Tycho's pic in an entry where I summarized one of my MCC fics behind an lj-cut, since telling it would have called for a similar facial expression. However, I think I might also use that one when I'm talking about non-technical stuff about gaming or anime. In other words, anything resembling an entry in the Penny Arcade news archive, like I mentioned here. My AVGN pic will be used when discussing history, trivia, or more technical details about video games or anime, or writing my personal thoughts about any in particular.

Queen of Queens did not sell yesterday, despite having two watchers (one of whom left before it ended), and having a question asked about it. However, I did relist it, figuring that maybe the person who was still watching it might have simply forgotten to bid on it.

Had my first Japanese session yesterday. It went on for an hour, where I studied one-on-one with a dorm student named Kenji. At the end of the session, I showed him my transcript of Makeruna! Makendou Z, and the tape which I used to record the game. He said that he is unable to view VHS tapes, but if I could transfer the content onto a DVD or file, he might be able to watch it on his computer and translate it for me.
With that said, now it's really important that I transfer all that stuff onto our hard drive and cut it into smaller files with TrakAxPC. I already called Brian to confirm if using that USB connector won't screw anything up this time, and he said it will be safe enough to use now that we have a better hard drive.
(Makeruna! Makendou 2 can still wait. It's a fighting game, so it won't be so dialogue-intensive as MMZ, and I can use the free trial for another program called Chop whenever I get around to dealing with it. The first game had no voice-acting whatsoever, and the OAV has already been subbed for me, saving me a huge workload.)

As far as Pokemon Diamond goes, here I am now at Hearthome City, almost ready to take on the Beauty Contest. Remoraid wins, having three Beautiful moves. Also, the walkthrough said it: Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Pinap, and Wepear Berries are not worth keeping or growing. In this case, Cornn and Chilan Berries are what I want; the former can be found in by Buneary in Amity Square, and the latter can be obtained from the berry lady in Pastoria City. Of course, getting the former would be much easier, since you can only get one berry a day from the latter, and even then, what you get is random.
And a Buneary I have. I exchange my Machop for it through Bebe's PC, and it didn't take long for it to find an ear of Korn. So now, I just have to cultivate it until I have twelve of them, turn them into Poffin, feed the Poffin to Remoraid, and I'll be all set to take on the Super Contest.
